Presbyopia LASIK Treatment
Presbyopia LASIK Definition
It means is ‘aging eye’. Unfortunately, reading vision loss, is an eye condition that affects the majority of the population as they enter their 40s. As the eye’s natural lens begins to harden with age, the eye’s level of flexibility decreases, making it more difficult to read up close and frustrating for your comfort and daily habits such as reading books, magazines, newspapers and your smartphone. Presbyopia LASIK Surgery is an effective treatment for reading vision problem.
Presbyopia LASIK Smart Laser Eye Surgery is designed for aging eyes.
Because we cannot prevent aging beyond the age of 40, no one is immune to Presbyopia and if left unchecked, it inevitably leads to the need for glasses, bifocal or varifocal reading. Even though near vision defect is usually try to be overlooked with close glasses, using glasses both makes you look old and you need glasses that you need to carry with you all the time.
Presbyopia Treatment
Presbyopia LASIK Smart Laser Eye Treatment not only corrects reading vision problem. It is a medium and long term and effective solution designed to correct other refractive errors such as Myopia, Hyperopia and Astigmatism.
Millions of people around the world have had laser eye surgery to date. Laser eye surgery is one of the most valid and popular treatment methods for the treatment of visual defects, and the most common form of this treatment in the world is LASIK.
Innovative Treatment
Presbyopia LASIK Smart Laser Eye Surgery is an innovative treatment for aging eyes that is being applied in Smart Laser Eye Centers.
Especially precision laser technology developed and pioneered by Excelsius Medical, can eliminate your need for glasses, bifocal or varifocal reading for many years.
You may have heard that Laser Eye Surgery cannot cure near vision defect. It is commonly said that Presbyopia can be correct only by Cataract surgery performed with a “Multifocal” or “Trifocal” lens that is actually inserted into the eye. This information is no longer valid. In Smart Laser Eye Centers, using the state-of-the-art Smart Laser technology, we successfully apply the method of increasing the depth of the eye’s field of view to our suitable patients.
Presbyopia LASIK Surgery seems to have advantages over intraocular lens implants (IOLs) over Cataract surgeries. First, it is a less surgical (and therefore safer) procedure. Second, it does not require compromising vision quality with IOLs (where multifocal IOLs can affect vision quality). Third, it is very accurate and can be adjust as it ages.
It is suitable for 97% of aging eyes
Moreover, it is suitable for around 97% of aging eyes. In fact, if you have had Cataract (Monofocal) Surgery and you must use reading glasses. It is the fastest and effective way to get rid of the reading glasses.
Presbyopia Smart Laser Eye Surgery is programmed to Excimer lasers developed by Excelsius Medical and produced with the precise laser technology. That’s why clinics around the world can now offer this surgery to their patients over the age of 40 with reading problems. While many eye clinics in Turkey offers, Multifocal or Trifocal lens (smart lens) surgery in order to correct aging eyes. Especially Smart Laser Eye Centers offers Presbyopia LASIK Smart Laser Eye Surgery, which is much less of a surgical intervention option for the majority of patients prefers over the age of 40 who do not want ato have cataract surgery.
The main advantages of Presbyopia treatment
In Presbyopia LASIK Smart Laser Eye Surgery, both eyes are adjusted to see both near and far vision. The brain compensates for this change almost instantly, bringing the two images together for a much greater depth of view and visual acuity. This means that the patient can now throw away those annoying reading glasses.
After the surgery more than 97% of patients who are short-sighted can read normal books and mobile phones without using bigger fonts.

Technology Factor
Laser Eye Surgery is something that assures a patient of a lower risk for his health when the procedure is performed in a high-tech hospital. The personalized elegance to this surgery is mostly decided through the surgeon’s training level, academic qualification and clinical experience of various specialists working together. Certainly, every eye surgeon would want to use that latest technology as it is necessary to be acquired and used during every operation. It doesn’t matter how well they know the procedure, they would want to use that most advance technology.
Hospitals who invested in this technology should not be expected to offer cheap surgery. Hospitals are investing in these advanced technologies make this investment by thinking of their patients. Eye treatment technologies are among the branches that require much higher investment compared.
Hospital Factor

One of the most frequently mentioned issues among patients is the increase in eye dioptries after surgery. Basically, laser eye surgery is a correction surgery. No doctor can guarantee that your eyes will not deteriorate in the future. Although doctors will only comment on your eye condition in future. Your eye is an important organ of your body and it ages with you just like your other organs. It is possible for your eyes to deteriorate again for any medical reason after this surgery. However, under normal conditions, the eye of a healthy individuals will not deteriorate.
However, if you have some cronical diseases that cause deterioration of our eyes (such as diabetes, hypertension, heart and kidney diseases, etc. ). It is important to be under strict control. Visit your eye doctor regularly. A lifetime guarantee cannot be offer to the patients in all refractive eye treatments. In case your eyes deteriorate again in the future, your doctor will try to correct your eyes with possible treatments.

What are the important complications for No-Touch (T-PRK) or PRK Laser Eye Surgery?
Especially in this technique, A long-term laser beam or by manual surgical procedure removes the epithelial top layer of cornea. For this reason, the patient spends 3-4 days in severe pain and discomfort after the surgery.
In this technique vision capability restore back in 1 week. Accordingly for a good vision, patients needs to wait about 1-2 months. This method uses more laser beams and heat on the cornea than the LASIK technique.
In order to prevent the risk of “Haze” blurry eye complications due to thermal impact. Some medications and procedures need to applies during the surgery. However, these medications and procedures are not 100% guaranteed to eliminate the risk of “Haze”. No-Touch or PRK method is not eligible for hyperopia patients because of the risk of “Haze” depending on the condition of the eye. There is no “Haze” Risk in LASIK Laser Eye Surgery.
